Hmmmm... Well, I havn't told my parents I'm a furry yet and wasn't planning to but a con within' driving distance would be a good excuse. Maybe once my dad's ex-girlfriend has moved out of the house and is in a better mood I'll tell him. I just hope he'll understand. I dunno, I'm not sure if I want to risk ostracizing myself over a con. That and the fact that I have little spare cash. I'll probably hit the con next year when I'm 18 but this year it's iffy.
